Window of Opportunity

Every now and then we face a cross road. Whether it is a major or a minor decision, something has to be done. Doing the unknown can be rewarding and refusing could mean an opportunity that was missed. My advice is step a little closer to the window and look.

What lies ahead?

Half a month has gone and yet the road ahead seems gloomy when news about cut-backs and downsizing are abuzz. But still life goes on. Bring out the cheer and be merry. Lanterns every where....swaying with hope and possibilities.

Short Spiky Hair

What's the best thing about having a drastic change in hairstyle? It really draws attention. The reaction from others is just fantastic. Questions of why followed by compliments and approval makes the change worthwhile.

Personally, it's life transforming because wherever I go, the reflections I see from mirrors, windows, reflective door panels or even the shape of my shadow makes me feel different and new. It has a psychological effect of change and transformation. Furhemore, the feel of running my hand over the short cropped hair is really pleasurable. Felt like a permanent spiky fabric over my top.

What's next? A beard?

Cool Refreshing Lemon Tea

The simple pleasures of life can come from the simplest ordinary things. For instance the ingredients of slice lemon, sugar syrup, water and ice cubes in a tall glass makes such a refreshing drink on a hot sweltering day. Imagine the cool sweet sour taste just running down your throat with every gulp you take....it's delightful thirst quencher. Bravo!

Peeling away to the Core

The human heart is like an onion....layers upon layers of covering till the outer tough exterior that seems impenetrable. We can never know the true nature of a person from the exterior for what lies beneath is hidden very successfully. How long does it take to befriend and how much trust must we show before the real person is revealed? Every human heart is vulnerable and therefore is closely guarded. Who knows and fully understand what is deep down inside? Only the Creator can tell.

Attention Allure

It is not enough that our surroundings are full of colours, sound and feel but there are other elements that tries to grab our attention. I always get that feeling in a shopping mall. As I'm walking along, electronic boards draws my focus, melodic sound comng from another corner, credit card salesmen shoving pamphlets into my face and avoiding kids that are running around my knees. Distractions can be irritating but everyone just wants a bit of our attention. One thing that helps is screening, seeing only what we want to see like toilet directions, lifts, levels and directories.

Instinct to Survive

The will to survive is instinctive in every living creature. Plants and animals alike have a sense of thriving and prolonging life so that the species continue to live on. But the will to survive for us is ever so fragile. The daily stress of living in the concrete jungle is tough and takes a lot of strength to manage the pressure. May this unique plant give us inspiration to overcome all obstacles to move on in life knowing that a bright future is just above ...

The Surface of Mars

Could this be the surface of planet Mars? Well if men are from Mars and women are from Venus then no wonder men are so tough because it looks really inhospitable. Maybe underneath the surface lies a kingdom of paradise of a modern city. The true heart of an entity lies buried and is waiting to be discovered.....

Road Map of Life's Journey

Decisions, decisions. Everyday is a decision making day. Every wakening day is filled with decision making chores. But as the years passed by, decisions become harder and the consequences much greater. Many a times I trust my instincts despite the condescending mind to give in to other decision makers but the summission to higher authority disintegrates my sense of control. Submission to the wise is a blessing but following the unwise will lead to folly and frustrations.

Life demands making a right or left turn, unbeknownst to us what lies in the corner but still every turn is a learning experience. I only pray that I will be bestowed with wisdom from above to make the right moves at every crossroads in my life. Will we be happier if we know the road map of our lives or live the life of risk and adventure? That depends how we like to watch a movie. Do we prefer knowing how the story ends or sitting through it until it ends? That's your answer. Nuff said.
